Crypto Bundling

Bundling refers to the practice of acquiring a large portion of a token’s supply and distributing it across multiple wallets that are secretly controlled by the same entity.

Instead of one wallet holding 40 percent of the supply, which would scare investors, the deployer spreads tokens across many wallets to appear decentralized. From the outside, the holder distribution looks healthy. Under the hood, control remains highly centralized.

Technically, bundling can happen in two main ways:

  • Multiple wallets buy the token simultaneously at launch

  • One wallet buys a large amount and later distributes tokens to many wallets

Both approaches achieve the same goal: hidden ownership concentration.
